View Full Version : Multiple HDDs in WinXP

I have a SCSI HD on an Adaptec SCSI card with a Seagate SCSI drive. I also
have a Promise ATA00TX2 card with an ATA100 hard drive.

The system seems to work a little slow and when I run Bootvis I get a
warning that "Disk Write Caching is not Enabled."

I then go into Device Manager/Disk Drives/Properties of the hard drive on
the ATA100TX2 to enable disk write caching and the check box is not there.
( The check box IS there and checked for the SCSI drive. ) Everything else
on the page is "greyed out." Also, curiously, the greyed out portion says
something to the effect that I can safely remove the device as if it is a
removable drive or usb device. WTF is going on? :-) How do I get the
checkbox?
